I am passionate about creating a non-judgmental, safe space for my clients to share their stories. I work with clients struggling with grief, loss, anxiety, depression, LGBTQ+ issues, and eating disorders, but have shared in many other client stories as well. I utilize a person-centered and strength-based therapeutic approach, tailoring sessions to meet each person’s individual needs. I understand that frightening feeling of meeting with a therapist for the very first time and feeling as though what happened during that one session could greatly impact my road to recovery. My goal is to create an environment in which clients can share freely and be positively impacted by feeling valued and heard. I strive to connect with each client through humor, respect, and work diligently to build mutual trust. I look forward to each person’s unique journey! 

Life is truly a journey of adventure, reward, and at times, intense challenge. I became a therapist because my own experience in therapy helped me through my darkest of days following the unexpected death of my only child in 2010. I walked into therapy broken and came out the other side committed to being that person for someone else. I became a licensed therapist so that I could use my life perspective to help others and feel honored every day to be able to walk with clients on their path to healing. I look forward to meeting you!
